I Think Documentary Filmmakers Need As Much

San Franciscans Are Very Proud Of Their City, And They Should Be. It’s The Most Beautiful Place In The World.

Whereas Money Is A Means To An End For A Filmmaker, To The Corporate Mind Money Is The End. Right Now, I Think Independent Film Is Very Confused, Because There's Excess Pressure In The Marketplace For Entertainment To Pay Off.

The Art Of Making A Film And Its Content Are Far More Interesting To Me Than The Result Or Impact.

I'd Been Influenced By Reading Books On Art And Colonies That Existed In Paris And Places Like That And So When I Came To Europe I Came To France And I Had Very Little Money, And I Had To Live Low And Stayed In A Bohemian Section Of Paris With A Lot Of Other Students, Who Were From Medical School, Science School And Art School. We All Lived In A Kind Of Communal Way And I Was Challenged Politically, Because I Didn't Have A Clue And They Would Ask Me Questions About The Algerian War, Which Was Very Big In France In The Late '50s.

I Think Independent Filmmakers, Documentary Filmmakers - They Are Journalists.
